About Legend Karate

The school started in a basement in Brooklyn in the year 1968 with 5 adults. Classes were 5 nights a week, 2-3 hours a night. We were getting successful and started to teach in schools and churches. The students started to compete on a city and state level.

In a perfect world, everyone would get along. Exercise and education would be enough to keep a healthy body and mind. Unfortunately, the world is far from perfect. It’s not always easy, and sometimes piers can be less than friendly. In today’s world of iPhones glued to faces, video game addiction, trash on the internet, and participation awards, kids need to be tough. They need to be able to tell right from wrong in school, with their friends, on the internet. In every one of our students, we see their potential. We see their future and how we can shape it. The road won’t be easy. There will be many challenges to face. We don’t back down from anything. We don’t stand for bullying or disrespect. We don’t give up, we strive to succeed, and we teach every one of our students that same passion.

My son has been training here for almost 3 years. He has been training in martial arts since he was 6. He is now 13 and I have watched his confidence grow and his abilities grow with it. He loves coming here to train with his second family. They are old school traditional and the real deal. They will laugh and cry and celebrate your successes with you. If you want your child to grow into a leader, if you want your child to learn real martial arts, if you want your child to grow up confident and capable, this is the school for you.

Most amazing experience of my life. Molded a boy into a man all while taking on the world competitively but most importantly in the real world. Not only has there been a lot of champions made here, there has been even more amazing human beings, Mother’s, fathers and role models made in this place. Thank you for everything you’ve given to my family and I. Forever indebted. Ari

My sister and I attended classes here throughout our youth and it’s something we often think about. Amazing instructors and real world knowledge of shotokan karate. They don’t call themselves The Legend for nothing. You become a family when you take classes here. The morals and lessons I learned here stuck with me throughout my adult life and I plan on enrolling my children in classes when they’re of age.
